    I had a great time at Old Asia Teahouse! If you're looking for a traditional tea house feel with a modern twist, this is the place for you. We had the 3 course tea High Tea Ceremony. This was a course of small plates paired with 3 unique teas all served gongfu style. The food was good, and even though they were considered "small plates" between the food and the tea, I finished the afternoon with a full belly! The staff was super knowledgeable and guided us through each tea, their pairing suggestions, as well as step by step brewing instructions l. The space is small so I recommend making a reservation if that's an option. Overall, this was a great experience.

    We had dinner reservations for a Saturday night at this restaurant. We decided to order more of the appetizers to try out and order one entree to share between the two of us. We each ordered a cup of tea and some sparkling water to start the meal. The tea was very aromatic and amazingly displayed. Our food came out at once. The star of the night must be the snap peas as it was cooked to perfection. The seared tuna was great too. Overall, the interior space is very intimate. It is highly recommended that you make reservations in advance to ensure there is a table inside. There are a lot of tables outside as well when the weather permits. Overall, it was a fun experience.

    Great ambiance! Love the decor, plenty of seating inside. I visited for lunch during the week, and there were only two other tables seated while I was there. Service was attentive, we were greeted immediately and they took our order in a timely manner. We ordered the chicken karaage, garlic noodles, and the tea leaf salad. The tea leaf salad was my favorite of all the dishes we had, full of flavor and the perfect crunch. The chicken was nice and crispy, but all the flavor was in the sauce. Overall we enjoyed the food, it just took a while to come out. I can see there being a long wait for food to arrive if you dine during a busier time. They have a great tea menu, I can definitely see myself returning to enjoy tea and appetizers or dessert.

    If you are looking for a super dark place to have a conversation, this is great. The setting is very nice. But the food is below average as in taste and presentation. The rice was undercooked, the chicken doesn't have much flavor. Service is good too. Just the food is kind of not matching the setting.

    walked in as a teahouse and you found out they can offer than teas. Great selections of teas, some sweets. Also they have full bar and you can order some food. Service is good. Small but good ambiance, I had a cup of tea and almond cake. I will comeback for some food and drinks.

    I love the concept of an Asian teahouse that offers various Asian fare! The decor and interior lends itself to oriental and romantic vibes. My husband and I came on a Saturday around noon. Since the space is small, I think it's recommended to come with a reservation as the seats can fill up quick but we came with no reservation and it wasn't an issue. We ordered a couple of teas, a Ginseng Tea and Burmese Tea. For food, we ordered a Chicken Karaage, Lentil Soup with Roti, and a Tea Leaf Laphet Thoke (Tea Leaf Salad). They carefully craft their drinks, it's like watching a bartender make a cocktail but instead of a cocktail, it's a tea drink. I love the Burmese Tea because of how earthy it was and the taste was complimented by the oat milk. As for the food, the tea leaf salad is always a standout, it's a must get every time I go to a Burmese restaurant. I did enjoy the Lentil Soup and Roti, it was well spiced and comforting. The karaage was good too, it was light and crispy.

    TLDR: Ambiance/Vibes - 5/5 (perfect date night/girls night spot!) Food - 4/5 (get the fried beef with garlic rice!) Service - 4/5 Tea - 3/5 I didn't try their cocktails this time but they look so pretty I'm sure they are also delicious! Let me explain: Went to check out this new Teahouse and restaurant right off of Lombard Road (around Ktown BBQ and Carina's Bakery area) Their parking lot is tiny maybe 1 spot and 1 disabled parking spot but there is plenty of street parking around that area. This restaurant is not very big and you can tell they put a lot of effort into their decor to create a cozy and intimate setting with the dim lighting, bright red lanterns, and blue porcelain patterned dishes. It's truly a blend of traditional and modern vibes. We also got the booth (which I would say can comfortably sit 4 people max) and some other seating arrangements by the wall but not many tables altogether, excluding bar seating. The food menu is Asian fusion including small plates to share and 4 entrées and dessert options, but everything was delicious! The sauce on the Agedashi Tofu was light and flavored the soft tofu very well. Chicken Nikudango (chicken meatballs) was bouncy but the sauce was spicy and I don't think there was an indication of that on the menu. Our favorites had to be the Fried Beef with Garlic Sauce (MUST GET!) and the Stir Fried Snap Peas was the crowd favorite. This was a good amount of food to share among the 3 of us with no leftovers. Service was super fast and friendly and she came to check on us several times throughout our meal. We got a pot of the Green Tangerine Pu-erh and there was the typical tea preparation performed at your table: opening up the ball of tea and "rinsing" the first round of water unto the tea animal (ours was a cute tiger I'm not sure if they have different ones) If I may make a suggestion, since this is labeled as a Teahouse, I would have loved to learn more about the tea with perhaps a little card describing the tea origin and blend, have a timer for the most optimal seeping time at the table and hot water for us to add ourselves with our pot. Between 3 people it went down very fast! It also looked like there is an outdoor seating area with a few picnic tables for the warmer months. Overall I recommend trying here for yourself and supporting local business!

    The place is small so reservation is likely a must. It is very cozy and full of ambiance that transports you to another place, which is very nice. Service was good and attentive and very friendly. The food is good to ok. Most of the dishes linger around Asian-ish but I get it, flavor of the East but not as much. Presentation is wonderful as your can see in the pictures. I would like to see more authentic flavors but I got a hint of it. Overall a wonderful place for date night.

    Wow! This space is so cute and beautifully decorated I was definitely impressed! Additionally the food was absolutely delicious and the tea selection was great with beautiful place settings and dinnerware! The only downside is the inside is very small so I would definitely recommend making a reservation. The server was very educated on the menu and was able to help recommend some great teas and dishes.

    This is an off the beaten path establishment that you might miss if you did not know about it. Creative menu with Pan Asian flair. Loved the tea service and had fun asking questions and looking up the background of Tea Pets. The seating area is small and cozy. Perfect for a rainy day. There is more seating outside for nicer weather.

    Garlic noodles with tofu, the fried chicken over coconut rice, and salmon poke plus a pot of chrysanthemum pu'er tea

    This new little gem is still a bit of a secret spot (only been open 3 weeks), but not for long! Love that there's a Teahouse in Beaverton that serves quality tea AND delicious food - these aren't just tiny sweet bites, they're savory entrees! The menu is a mix of pan Asian dishes, ranging from karaage to beef masala to garlic noodles prepared by the lovely co-owner; it's run by a couple and is a small family owned business! For two women, we ordered: Garlic noodles with tofu Salmon Poké Nasi Lemak with chicken A pot of Chrysanthemum pu'er tea Would certainly order it all again, but also eager to try some of their other small plates and entrees + dessert. Each dish is tasty with balanced flavors, the textures are just perfect (crispy anchovies, well cooked chicken, a soft but good chew on the noodle) and it was all carefully plated and prepared with thoughtfulness. Was especially pleased to start the meal with the salmon Poké, it was fresh with the bites of mango and cucumber plus a lovely light refreshing ponzu sauce. You can tell they care about their service and what they're serving! Not to mention the very cute decor and the little touches, like the adorable cat soy sauce bottle. Now, let's talk about the tea! They do tea service for pots of tea at your table - highly recommend for two or more people. They do the pouring of the first "rinse" and advise you on how long to see to the tea before your first cup. We had the chrysanthemum pu'er tea and it was a lovely blend that I could drink all day - very smooth fragrant. I love tea, and am delighted that there's an Asian tea experience on this side of town. As much as I enjoy a high tea experience, you have to reserve well in advance and it typically costs you $50/person so it's not something you can experience on a whim. But with Old Asia Teahouse, you get an intimate setting to slow down, catch up with friends and savor a few food cups of tea. They have an extensive tea menu, rotating seasonal teas as well as a create-your-own menu! If you've been to Waba or the previous versions of the various pocha's (Korean street style food shop) expect to be surprised. It's been completely renovated and has a Teahouse vibe. You'll most likely have to find street parking since they have a very limited parking in the lot (one spot + one disability parking spot). I'd imagine when the weather is nice, they'll put tables outside so you can enjoy their little "garden."

    We came here for a lady date/girls tea. it is such an adorable place! Service is meticulous, yet slow. Food is tasty, yet pricey. Parking is on the street. The spot is very small and easy to miss. All and all, it is worth the experience

    The garlic asparagus was cooked very well, with a slight crunch and a perfect amount of garlic for my tastebuds.

[Format & Space] Seat yourself*, review the menus at the table, order at the bar, they bring your food and drinks to your table. *Plenty of tables, some with long benches, others with chairs on the inside. There's also a large patio. This is a welcome and safe space. [Drinks] Right up front, I'm going to tell you I'm a lightweight. I'm allergic to alcohol, so I don't drink often. Here's one of the things I love about The 649. They have a fantastic selection of mocktails that are created with the same creativity, flair, and intention as a "leaded" cocktail. I appreciate that I get to participate and not be stuck with a lemonade, zero alcohol beer, or wine. So, HUZZAH for creating an inviting space for a non-drinker! There *are* times when I'm willing to risk the lobster-bod, itchiness, and stuffy nose and there are plenty of cocktails from which to choose! [Food] There's a nice selection of sharable plates and mains. I've personally tried the flatbread pizza, Bavarian pretzel, Cubano, and Brisket Press, all of which were delish. [Service] The service has always been fabulous. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. [Activities] There are a few TVs around the bar with sports. It was a great place to catch some of the World Cup games. Additionally, there are several games that you can borrow and play, which is a lot of fun. [Location] Tucked in a busy shopping center with Safeway as an anchor. Parking hasn't been super problematic yet, but based on one of the other reviewers (Ron R - loved your formatting too, so I borrowed it until we get rich text formatting or emojis!)

They have a mocktail here that I thought could not be beat.... It's absolutely incredible... I came in tonight to order my dancing Queen mocktail... They offered instead an off menu. Mocktail for me to try... All I can say is in 44 years. I've never had something so delicious and I am very well traveled!!! I can't tell you the name of it. Y'all can come in and check it out but it does how fresh watermelon in it cannot beat that on a hot summer day. I've been waiting for an establishment like this to show up on the west side for over 20 years. So happy I found Wax social.

    If you only hit one craft cocktail bar on your visit to Portland, make it this one…read more Wax Social is a speakeasy and vinyl listening lounge tucked inside a Best Western in the West Hills.. and I mean that in the best way possible. Super moody lighting, hundreds of framed musician photos covering every wall, warm comfortable seating, and a custom hi-fi sound system that will rearrange your expectations for what a speakeasy bar and listening lounge can be. It's a hidden gem in the most literal sense: no signage on the outside and nothing to tip you off as you enter the building. To find Wax Social you walk through the hotel lobby at 9900 SW Canyon Rd, up a staircase left of the registration desk, and look around until you find a frosted glass door marked "Listening Lounge." Open it. You'll be glad you did. Start with the cocktails. The menu is split between elevated timeless classics and original house creations, and both sections of this cocktail menu can bang. The King of Pain is rum-forward and finished with an orange coconut foam that looks as good as it tastes. The Watermelon Man showcases Japanese gin and elderflower in a refreshing and complex profile that's hard not to love. The Sweetest Taboo is a mezcal drink built around blue maize, red bell pepper, pineapple, and lime that hits that rare combination of bold and perfectly balanced. Light My Fire brings blanco tequila and Ancho Reyes together with habanero bitters for real depth. If you want to wander off-menu, they can handle that flawlessly too. Over several visits I've enjoyed a Paper Plane, Tommy's Margarita, Gimlet, Last Word, Too Soon, and others, all executed perfectly. On one visit, the guy next to me at the bar was visiting Portland from Sweden and ordered a Flip. I've been to a lot of craft cocktail bars and never heard someone order one. Clayton, one of the bartenders, didn't blink. Went right to work making a luxurious Flip from memory that the customer couldn't stop raving about. I was impressed. Clayton is also working on several rum-forward cocktails coming to the menu later this summer - I love rum drinks enough to say that sitting at the bar talking shop and the concepts he's tinkering with is worth a visit on its own. Full mocktail lineup, plus wine, bubbles, and craft beers. Now about the sound system. DJs spin all-vinyl sets of funk, soul, R&B, and deep cuts across decades on a custom hi-fi setup that sounds absolutely incredible. Even when the DJ is in full flow and the music is turned up, you can still hold an easy conversation with a group of six or eight people. I've been there with a large group in the back corner on couches and comfortable chairs and everyone kept commenting on it. The music is present and powerful and somehow never swallows the laughter and conversation happening around you. They clearly built this bar around the music. The food is a genuine surprise for a craft cocktail lounge. Think small plates/tapas in terms of dining style: you come for the drinks and next thing you know you've ordered half the menu, made a dinner of it, and somehow backed into a beautiful evening of food, drink, and music. Must-orders: ahi poke nachos, deviled eggs, braised pork gnocchi. Don't overlook the shaved asparagus and white bean salad with sherry vinaigrette, Manchego, and crispy shallots. Simple and elegant and every bit as good as the more indulgent plates. Steak bites and shrimp are worth ordering too. Bring friends so you can order more and share. Owners Sean and Travis are present most nights, greeting you at the door and checking in at your table. That care shows in everything here, including a staff that knows how to read the room. A few things worth knowing: parking is easy, the location is simple to reach from Portland or Beaverton, and the bathrooms are spotless. Open late on weekends. Whether you're planning a romantic date night in Portland, a special occasion, a group night out, or just a solo evening at the bar with someone who really knows cocktails, this is your spot. Among the best craft cocktail and listening lounge experiences in the greater Portland metro area. You've gotta check it out.
